Composition: Choose the leading fragment; layer the rest before and behind. Type and lettering: A disciplined text face with large pull quotes. Let one material quality come from the second style: Light gear, fast film speed, focus distance decided before raising the camera. Mood: Rebellion, Exhilaration, Play, Intimacy. Color: build on #ede6d8, #e4462f, #22201d with a single accent drawn from #ddd9cf, #8a5c45, #252422.

# Cautions carried from each entry
# - Editorial Collage: Don't just add material. Be able to say what every fragment means.
# - Street Photography: Hunting for unusual looking people turns the work into spectacle and leaves the photographer's gaze rather than the city's relations. Weigh the ethics, the place and your distance from the subject.
